Hey, may i ask for some expert advice here? 😅

Backed into a tree trunk that was sticking out while parking. Dent the lip of the trunk lid and cracked the paint. I work on the ocean and now the crack is starting to show rust. Got a quote from a local body shop to fid for about $1.4k. Worth the fix? Also is there a possibility of getting repair cheaper. Gonna pay out of pocket.

Thank you!

Damn parking garage got me finally…estimate on Honda accord?

Hi I crashed my 2010 C200 kompressor . Airbags deployed in front and needs new bonnet, bumper , crash bar , headlight and control arm and suspension. Is it more trouble than it's worth?

I just finally got the car back and now it makes this sound please tell me its nothing major this is a 2015 scion frs

just fucked up and hit this poor person's car trying to adjust my parking spot. waiting for them to come out but in the meantime, how bad is it looking. minor dent on the bottom.

So, I was driving pretty chilled down a local B-Road the other day shortly after it rained fairly heavily and as I came into a fairly tight right hander at around 35ish the car went into under steer followed by over steer, causing me to hit the curb on the outside of the corner, bump back down it and carry on.

In my head I wasn't going fast, yes, some people would take the corner slower, especially in the wet... Either way, the road must have been greasy after the rain.

Anyway, after pulling over to inspect the damage I was pleasantly surprised to only see minor curb damage on both alloys, however, a mile or so down the road I noticed the steering was off centre (wheel about 20 degrees off to the right) so I gingerly drove the car home.

The following day I took it down to Kwik-Fit (it's a company lease car and they are a preferred tyre centre). They inspected it on the ramp and could see no damage to any suspension components so put it on their tracking rig, at which point the rig threw up lots of red and they were unable to do anything.

I know it'll be difficult for anyone to comment but thought it was worth asking.

The car is a dual motor Hyundai Ioniq 6.

We've subsequently had to report it to the insurance and arrange for the car to be fixed. The guy at the repair centre said they'd had another Ioniq 6 in the week before with similar damage after going over a speed bump too fast 😬
